Man City face ‘immediate relegation’ if found guilty of 115 FFP charges, claims football finance expert as he reveals huge points deduction which club might accept

Premier League

Tottenham

City face <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/premier-league-agree-trial-date-over-manchester-city-115-ffp-breaches/blt3a8b8cec780c2710" target="_blank">115 charges of violating Financial Fair Play rules</a> and could be hit with a any number of serious sanctions if found guilty after a trial. Sport finance expert Rob Wilson believes they could be banished from the English top-flight straight away, though they could compromise by accepting a points deduction.

WHAT HAPPENED?

There have been calls for City to be handed a massive penalty after Everton and Nottingham Forest were both deducted points this season. Everton had an initial 10-point deduction reduced to six, while <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/nottingham-forest-docked-four-points-breaching-premier-league-profit-sustainability-rules-blow-survival-hopes/blt2e1b73525c362f0d" target="_blank">Forest were docked four after being found guilty of a breach of regulations</a>.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Wilson told <a href="https://www.grosvenorcasinos.com/sport" target="_blank">Grosvenor Sport</a>: "There is technically no limit to the punishment Manchester City could face, they could look to Saracens in rugby union and see 30 points and an immediate relegation. However, I cannot envisage the Premier League winning a case against Man City that would relegate them, they might agree on a 20-point deduction and could still end up qualifying for the Champions League."

WHAT ROB WILSON SAID

City's case will not be heard until later this year and it is expected there will be a long wait before a ruling is finally made. The reigning European champions will likely appeal against a punishment if they are found guilty.
